FemmeToxic...Demanding safer cosmetics! FACT: There are toxic chemicals in the bodies of Canadian girls and women- chemicals that enter the bloodstream from pesticides and hormones in our food, from furniture and detergents, and from the personal care products we put on our bodies. Even small doses of these toxins can have serious effects.
THE GOOD NEWS: Young women have a lot of consumer power- power to get these unnecessary toxins out of products like the cosmetics that we use to feel healthy and beautiful! FemmeToxic's goal is to educate young Canadian women about the potential dangers of cosmetics ingredients and provide people with the tools they need to create personal change and to influence national legislative reform. Refuse to be “toxified”! Demand safer cosmetics!

Hi again!
The chemicals in our cosmetics really are a phantom menace! Byproducts aren't on the labels (hello formaldehyde), fragrances are "trade secrets" and greenwashing is everywhere! These sessions with girls have been a great space to talk about the issues around cosmetics: our consumer power, self esteem, the environment, and our health!
